Factors such as the increasing awareness for workers safety is the major reason fuelling the demand for the personal protective equipments market in Saudi Arabia. Accidents taking place in workplaces have paved the way for the influx of personal protective equipment.

Further, the Saudi Arabia is the prime locale for the oil and gas sector constituting for more than 40% of the total personal protective equipment market in Saudi Arabia. Additionally, approval for the usage of personal protective equipment by the regulating bodies on account of the increasing incidents of workplace accidents is also fuelling the demand for the personal protective equipment market.

Increasing demand for advanced technology is one of the major factors that is inhibiting the growth of the personal protective equipment market in Saudi Arabia.
